Classroom Sets
Classroom sets are multiple copies of the same book for teachers to use in their classrooms. Over 50 different Children’s and Young Adult titles are available. School instructors can reserve any available titles, and up to 27 copies can be included in the set. A classroom set checks out for 8 weeks.
To order a classroom set, use the order form below. (Please note that you will use your own PPLD library card, an Educator Card, or your school's organizational library card to check out the set for 8 weeks.)
Order a Classroom Set
We require at least one week to process requests. Your classroom set of books will arrive at the PPLD location that you indicated on the form.
The books will be placed in a black bag or a black rolling bin, depending on the number of copies you requested. The tag on the container indicates the number of copies you asked for. Your checkout receipt will include the due date. Return this classroom set with all copies in the container to any PPLD location.
IMPORTANT: If you need to renew a classroom set, contact Rachel Martin (rmartin@ppld.org). The set will be renewed, if possible. You may check out up to 3 sets at a time, subject to availability.
